HDD HALO 2

Post by killarzachary »

I made a HDD thingermabob for my X-box. When I first used it I could load the maps. Now whenever I try to load the maps, I get to 8 seconds untill game starts, and I automatically fail to lad the maps. What do you think is wrong. Also this is the link to how I placed the game on my HDD (read through it and tell me if theirs anything else or different I should do).

well assasin4hire doesn't like to paraphrase there tuts. they are too crammed, so i wrote my own

you have to have a modded dash for this!

materials-
1. softmodded xbox or harmodded (dosent matter)

2. ftp program

3. halo 2 disc

step 1.-put your game disc in the xbox.

step 2.-ftp a connection and look in the folder "D"

step 3.-you will see: maps-and inside that will be fonts, bink, media, and default exe! copy these to ur comps. desktop!

step 4.-once on your desktop delete everything out of bink (to save space, and this will also take out the halo 2 intro) keep media full, and delet all the maps that end in _001 and _002 etc, those are single player maps (will save a lot of SPACE!)

so delet all the single player maps, then keep all the rest of the maps EXEPT single_player_shared.map (this will save you A LOT of space)

the setup should be like this:

|\Bink>
Nothing in here
|\Maps>

| \Fonts>

| "all *.map files: EXEPT single player maps" (shared.map and mainmenu.map)

|\Media>

| "media files"

|default.xbe

then FTP to your games folder and play

UPDATE:

When I added the sharedmaps file I was able to load the maps again. Now I cant get any modded maps to work except for the racetrack mod. What happens is, it looks like it loaded and then takes me back to the PreGame Lobby. If this helps, I am using a soft modded x-box. Do all mods work for a soft modded x-box?
